CARL J'OI-IAN JACKSON, OF SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN.

SCREEN.

Application filed December 3, 1924. Serial No. 753,724.

17 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL J. JAoKsoN, a subject of the Kingdom of Norway,residing at Superior, in the county of Douglas and State of Visconsiahave invented new and useful Improvements in Screens, of which thefollowing is a specification.

Thisinvention relates to improvements in screens and contemplates theprovision of a. novel form of frame which is subdivided into a windowand screen portion, the screen portion being of the usual and ordinarytype, but the novel portion of the device resides in the lower portion,that is the window portion, which has layers of glass portions forletting out flies or other insects which fre-- quently infest houses.

A further object is in the window portion whereby flies or the like maywalk between the sections of glass positioned therein but owing to thepeculiar habit of insects they will not be able to enter between the sections of glass in order that they may enter the house.

With the above and other objects and advantages in View, the inventionfurther includes the following novel features and details ofconstruction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in theaccomr panying drawings, and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a window frame showing the screenpositioned therein.

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the screen per se.

Figure 3 is a transverse section taken on line 3-8 of Figure 1, andthrough the window portion.

Figure 4: is a longitudinal section taken through a portion of thescreen and window portion respectively.

Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein like characters ofreference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10indicates generally a window frame into which the present invention ispositioned, which is clearly shown in Figure 1 for pu poses ofillustration only.

In the present invention, I provide a very common and ordinary type ofscreen frame which has longitudinal side members 11,

transverse or horizontal end sections 12, and

said frame is further sub-divided into screen and window portions 13 and14L through the medium of a cross member 15 and extending transverselyof the frame adjacent the long end thereof. The screen portion merelyincludes a strip of screen wire lying flush against the side and endwalls of the frame and held thereon through the medium of molding strips16 which extend around the inner periphery of the frame. It is to beunderstood that the screen portion does not form the entire subjectmatter of the pres-- ent invention, but is merely used in combinationwith the present invention.

Referring to the window portion 14:, I provide apair of glass panels 17which are spaced apart an appreciable distance intermediate of the widthof the frame in-order to provide an exit 18 for the flies or otherinsects to pass through on the way out of the domicile. These panels 17are seated within grooves 19 provided in the lower portion of the framewhereby the glass and screen portions may be held to the frame by thesame holding means 16. Positioned directly behind and upon the rear faceof the frame is an auxiliary relatively narrow panel of light materialwhich is positioned directly behind the exit 18.

Owing to the peculiar habit of flies and other insects they cannot enterthe exit 18 into the house but may only pass outwardly therefrom fromthe inside of the domicile.

Another and further object of the present invention which applicantdeems necessary is owing to the fact that this screen may be kept in thewindow frame 10 the year around, and be used as a ventilator owing tothe fact that the lower portion of the window may be raised to thetransversely extending member 15 in order to allow air to pass throughthe exit 18 and be deflected by the relatively narrow glass panel andtransversely of the frame whereby a direct draft may not enter the room.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportionand minor details of construction, and the right is herein reserved tomake such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appendedclaim.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

A Window screen exit of the character described comprising a framemember par- 5 titioned into screen and exit portions respectively, theexit portion including a pair of transparent panels secured in end toend relation Within the frame and having their inner edges arranged inspaced relation in providing an exit therebetwe en, and a relativelynarrowtransparent panel positioned directly behincF the exit and inspaced re lation thereto whereby an exit and window ventilator isproyided. 7 r

In testimony \iliereof I afiix my signature.

CARL JOIIAN JACKSQX.
